Announcement of the closing of R. Charles's (Charles Rouy's) experiments in acoustic physics, passage Longueville, opposite the Tuileries. Encouraged by the "approval of the first magistrates of the Republic", Charles has added to the invisible man and woman two isolated busts of Trophonius and the Pythia of Delphi, which see, hear, open their eyes and mouths, converse, sing and answer in verse: the "nec plus ultra of recreational acoustics". The invisible man and woman will be heard as usual through four acoustic horns fitted to a glass globe suspended in the middle of a room 120 feet in circumference; open until the closing on 10 vendémiaire, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5 to 9 p.m., carriage entrance from the place du Carrousel and rue Thomas-du-Louvre, price 1 franc 50 centimes.
